Hello,

I tried to install HOM 3 on a Mac. I get this error:

How can I fix this?

Damn, again MS remove one file, used in this function (gdiplus).

 

I fixed the issue.

But how can I use the patch? Got 4.3.4

Just do the same thing (function will auto update, if not list the applications installables then update it).

No :( still got the same result.

  Pressed "Refresh" in the main window, right?

In the 'Install' menu of POL/POM (where the apps are listed).

Doesnt work... Still got the same error

Seems i got update - the link is new, but hashes still dont match

 

New link has '*' in it, maybe right link should be this one?:

It was my fault. * removed.

No *, but still

 

Maybe we're supposed to use 2019y version (its 2014 you're requesting)?

I checked the script, it seems OK. Just click 'retry: yes'.

Doesnt help at all. Its trying again and failing with the same hash comparing error

I'm discouraged.

Hello guys, has this been solved somehow? Im having this exact issue. Thank you

 

nvrm i solved it

Hello All,

I just came across the same issue and the problem is exactly what the message states: there is a hash mismatch.

Well, find and download the file on the internet, what is reffered in the url string. In my case an archive.org url was included, so I googled with: "filename" site:archive.org. In some case the file is already removed and/or the url is changed, so lets use google cache or waybackmachine to find it or use other parameters through search.

-Once you've downloaded the file generate an md5hash and compare to the desired value by PoL (on linux: md5hash filename),
-copy the file into the right folder (on linux use find command to determine that directory eg.: find /home -name WindowsXP*)
-It is very important to remove the write permission of this file (on linux: chmod -w filename), because once you click on YES button PoL will replace the file with the wrong one again.

And only now should you click on the YES button.

I'm not sure if Apple uses the same commands/parameters, but check this site for chmod: https://ss64.com/osx/chmod.html and for md5 hash: https://osxdaily.com/2009/10/13/check-md5-hash-on-your-mac/ and for find command: https://superuser.com/questions/226566/how-do-i-find-a-file-by-filename-in-mac-osx-terminal
